Remembering Billie and Ella

Nicole Pasternak and her Jazz Quartet will take you on a musical journey exploring the contrasting artistry of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.  They will be accompanied by longtime friend, trumpet player Chris Brown.
Chris and Nicole will partner to show how singers and horn players interact in jazz, playing off one another in a “musical dance” as they share the musical legacy of Billie and Ella.

This concert is a fundraiser for the KEYS music program in Bridgeport.


Billie Holiday expressed the jazz ideal with unique, soul-stirring beauty, becoming arguably the greatest jazz singer of her generation and some would say of all time.

Ella Fitzgerald was blessed with an immaculate instrument and practically infinite vocal range and was famous for her ability to “scat sing,” to vocally improvise like a horn.

This concert is a fundraiser for KEYS:
KEYS is a non-profit organization based in Bridgeport. KEYS mission is to bring one-on-one instrumental lessons and group music instruction to inner-city children in Bridgeport who have no other access to this empowering life experience. A donation of $2.00 per ticket will be made directly to KEYS to support this program.
